Stereocaulon tomentosum Fr.
Sched. Crit., 3: 20, 1825.
Synonyms: Stereocaulon botryocarpum H. Magn.; Stereocaulon cupriniforme Nyl.; Stereocaulon tomentosum var. campestre Körb.
Description: Primary thallus crustose, ephemeral, usually absent in mature individuals, secondary thallus fruticose. Pseudopodetia loosely attached, prostrate to ascending, up to 4(-8) cm tall, 1-2 mm thick, clearly dorsiventral, thickly grey-tomentose especially on lower surface, with a solid cartilaginous axis of parallel hyphae surrounded by a lax medulla. Phyllocladia abundant, granulose to squamulose, ash-grey, mostly rounded and flattened, often overlapping. Cephalodia inconspicuous, more or less spherical, to 0.7 mm across (usually less), embedded in the tomentum of the underside, with Nostoc. Apothecia frequent, mainly located on lateral branches, up to 0.7(-1.2) mm across, with a dark brown to blackish brown, convex disc and an indistinct margin. Proper exciple brown in outer part, colourless within; epithecium brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 45-55 µm high; paraphyses simple, 1.5-1.8 µm thick, the apical cells 3-4 µm wide, with a dark cap; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, with a K/I+ blue outer layer and apical dome, and a central, K/I+ darker blue tube, Porpidia-type. Ascospores 3(-6)-septate, hyaline, fusiform, 20-50 x (2.5-)3-4 µm. Pycnidia rare, dark, immersed. Conidia 1-celled, hyaline, straight, 4-5 x c. 0.8 µm. Main photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P+ orange, UV-. Chemistry: atranorin, stictic acid and variable amounts of norstictic acid.
Growth form: Fruticose
Substrata: soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia (primary); cyanobacteria, filamentous (e.g. Nostoc, Scytonema) (secundary, e.g. in cephalodia)
